I could have writt...Seriously, get out of my brain! I could have written this myself. In fact, I was going to write something similar today. Maybe I'll just C&P yours lol! Carbs are my BFF. Don't tell my husband, but I may love them as much as I love him.<br /><br />I agree there is no way I could get them out entirely. What then would be the point of living? I like chicken and pork but only occasionally eat beef and can't stand any seafood. I'm sort of a picky eater in general but it's not as bad as I used to be. <br /><br />A few years ago I got three cookbooks all by Dana Carpender. One is a general recipe book, one is 15 minute meals, and the other is slowcooker recipes. One thing I look for in other recipes are a close to equal amount of carbs and protein. Remember fiber doesn't count so subtract that from the total carbs! <br /><br />One of my favorite truly low carb meals is chicken lettuce wraps which is in the 15 minute meals book. It's so good and you really don't miss the carbs. In fact the local Chinese takeout place has a similar dish and I often chose to get that even if I could get something like lo mein instead.<br /><br />My DH loves chinese food so we do a lot of stir fry. Just get a bag of frozen stir fry veggies and some cubed chicken breast and some bottled teriyaki or whatever you like sauce, skip the rice.<br /><br />These are two recipes I found online that I've got on my current shopping list. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=23245 (but made with ground turkey) and http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=593315 which I'm going to freeze in lunch sized portions. They aren't really low carb but they're lower carb which is good enough lol.<br /><br />Breakfast is hard for me. There just aren't that many low carb options that aren't also a lot of work. We've started to get greek yogurt for the extra protein and I'll also boil a bunch of eggs at one time to eat throughout the week. I'd really like to try those green juice things but I just don't have the equipment to make them.Frozen OJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131711839046100355noreply@blogger.com
